BBC Interviews Asia Bibi Family

Last week the BBC broadcast an interview with the husband and daughters of Asia Bibi, the Chrisitan wife and mother sentenced to death in Pakistan under that nation's harsh and unjust blasphemy laws.

Here is the resulting BBC story:

Asia remains in jail after the High Court in Lahore upheld the guilty verdict and death sentence last year. She has appealed the case to Pakistan's Supreme Court, the final step in the legal process in Pakistan. No timetable has been set for when the Supreme Court will take up the case.

The Voice of the Martyrs continues to stand with Asia Bibi and her family. You can write a letter of encouragement to her, as well as sign a petition asking the Pakistani government to release her. Please continue to pray for this brave Christian woman.
